Not sharing that to be a deterrent, just to be aware, because this place is great! This place has two distinct areas with two distinct vibes (at least when I went), with one being R&B and dance songs, and the other being country. They have plenty of areas to hang out at, and the overall vibe is a healthy balance between hype and chill! Everyone was super friendly from the security, bar staff, and the patrons themselves!

Such fun times here…read more Came here to see Die Mannequin On Friday 29th. Since the below Yelpers have done an awesome job at summarizing the place, I shall continue with only focusing the experience of this particular event. The lounge has a parking lot in the back. If you are driving and the lounge is on your left, keep driving, there's a few businesses with parking lots in the back. It's safe to park there. This spot is a few streets down from Hess Village so around 2am there is a fun amount of drunken folks walking around. There's a few food places open late if you do get hungry. The crowd this night The Casbah was a VERY interesting mix. This is because it's usually friends/family of the band members. So don't come expecting a select type of crowd. Anything goes here. Since I've brought up the subject of interesting and anything goes, what's up with all the one way roads in Hamilton? The main street (Casbah located to your right) is ALL one way, so if you are anything like me (meaning - nil-ch sense of direction) be careful... you will most likely be driving/facing ONTO coming traffic. (true story), Thankfully, the people here are quite nice. They waved to me (after I waved.. thinking *gosh they're so nice here* I realized why. Made an illegal U turn mid street. They guided me and THEN laughed. Just use the "I'm not from these parts sir". Works every time. There's no chairs and the stage is quite tiny. They have about 4-5 bands play before the main band comes on stage. So if you are travelling, don't rush. They do check ID and stamp you. The smokers section is decent. Again, no seats. You will be working out your legs, unless your kind of a weirdo like me and plop right on the corner edge of the stage. I found beer to be a bit pricey here. There's only one bar located right on the far right corner of the venue, as soon as you walk in. I can only assume, this is where they make money. The bathroom is dinky. Small with 4 stalls. 3 of them have broken handles. Guys kinda just waltz in here, drunk or trying to help a girlfriend etc. So, be super careful. Ask a girlfriend to keep watch at your stall door. The best part about this place? - there's only 1 bathroom section in the whole place. Meaning, you WILL bump into band members. It's pretty cool. Caroline Kawa from Die was the coolest chick in the world. She helped me fix my hair and was SO down to earth. Now if I could just get Metric to play here so I could bump into Emily Haines, I'd die a desert happy girl. Even with all the sketch guys who overhear you talking about how hungry you are and respectively INSIST on walking down the street to get you a poutine,gawk at you from tiny dark corners , I still like this place. It's got a bit of a grunge feel to it so you can really dress how you want- venture into GaGa Land for the night? - I THINK SO! If you're into rocking out, you'll end up having a good time. If you're female, you'll have an even funner time trying to hide behind big equipment "helping" the band through the back door. Yes ladies, there IS a back door. No need to fret about creepers. Once you walk into the hall to the bathrooms, it's straight ahead. No alarms so you can push and run out onto a parking lot facing the main street. You can park here so you can get right into your car. They thought of everything. I like that. xoxo M.

It was turkey vegetable It was extremely salty to the taste and was a generous size bowl serving. Chicken Butts: Boneless chicken fried and coated with buffalo sauce. It was not spicy at all and only 6 smallish sized pieces. Could be a bit better. 3/5 Server: Not attentive at all. i had to go to the bar to flag someone down and have her tell the server that i wanted to order some food and had waited over 2 hrs. She kept avoiding me. Not good for the server and so she's not going to get a tip. She didn't even come by to ask if my bf wanted another drink. 0/5 stars.

When it comes to night clubs in Guelph, none do it quite like Palace. The place has a strong…read morereputation to it - not necessarily one of high class, but definitely one of adventure & fun. You either go in knowing exactly what you're getting into or you find yourself in the middle of the dance floor when you could have sworn you were JUST across the street. Either way, you're in for a special evening. Seriously. Tell someone you're "going to Palace tonight" & watch the reaction. Palace is one of the strongest dance clubs in the city. Delightfully trashy, but still carries an exclusive vibe & appeal. The music is always bangin'. The crowds are always alive. The lights are always flashing. The environment is great for the person or group looking to "rage" or get a little rowdy. Dance music, cages, live DJ & a chill spot upstairs. Pricing is a bit high for the quantity & they don't take card, but the bartenders are super nice. Looking for a "different" night? Time to hit up Palace.

As for the place, the booth is good for maybe max 7-8 people, there was 5 of us in the room and there was ample space. You can also order food and alcoholic drinks, don't forget to bring your identification. For the price, we spent around $200+ and split it among us. It's recommended to come with a group of people for maximum enjoyment. The only thing, I hoped they have the option to have more songs, some of the songs had wrong lyrics and were out of sync. Also, if they can have the option to have the scores to when after you sing, haha it would make it more competitive and fun if you want a singing competition with friends.
